Artist Statement

“In the cosmos of my art, virtual lies are spun, social truths are spread and counter-worlds are designed. In a living space where the past, present, and future are contested zones, it is the images that can seize everything to project lurking visions.

I aim to tell stories of creatures spellbound between knowledge and ignorance. These beings inquire about the pure and the artificial, engaging in conflict with themselves as they strive to shed the ‘mental dirt.’ They seek meaningful connections with living souls and environments from which they have turned away. In their oscillation, they are always searching for their role, which they aspire to assume in the absurd theatre of the seeming and the real.

My creative process involves absorbing culture and then reinterpretating it. This is always a way of coping with reality to discover, explore, and understand ‘what it does to us.’”
